Forbidden Knowledge #1: Bizarre true stories taken from the history of mankind! Details some of the worst figures in History, including Nero, the cannibal tribe of the Tupinamba, and the infamous Hellfire Club! Features George DiCaprio, Robert Williams, Rich Chidlaw, Matt Golden, Brent Boates, Art Vitello, Milt Gray, Jean Paul Laurens, Jim Himes, Icelandic Codpiece Comics Studio, Dennis Ellis and Chris Lane. In the first issue of Forbidden Knowledge, Jim Himes contributes a particularly gore-filled tale about a primitive society in "Blood L-u-s-t of the Tupinamba." A few pages later, Rich Childlaw gives us a story about Russian castrators, which is dedicated to George's newborn son, the "Mighty Leonardo!"
"The cruelty inherent to human history is a great excuse for Forbidden Knowledge to deliver some of the most stomach-churning and violent scenes in comic book history." -Comixjoint
